The authors originally developed and tested this library on:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) C++ 4.5.3 (with and without C++11 features
enabled <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">=</span><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">++</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="identifier">x</span></code>)
on Cygwin.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Miscrosoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 8.0 on Windows 7.
</li>
</ol></div>
<p>
See the library <a href="http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/functional-overloaded_function.html" target="_top">regressions
test results</a> for detailed information on supported compilers and
platforms. Check the library regression test <a href="../../../test/Jamfile.v2" target="_top"><code class="literal">Jamfile.v2</code></a>
for any special configuration that might be required for a specific compiler.

<p>
This library is composed of header files only. Therefore there is no pre-compiled
object file which needs to be installed. Programmers can simply instruct
the compiler where to find the library header files (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on GCC, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on MSVC, etc) and compile code
using the library.
</p>
<p>
The maximum number of functions to overload is given by the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX.html" title="Macro BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX">BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX</a></code>
configuration macro. The maximum number of function parameters for each of
the specified function type is given by the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX.html" title="Macro BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX">BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX</a></code>
configuration macro. All configuration macros have appropriate default values
when they are left undefined.
